28 Brilliant Tips for Living Life

Post written by Leo Babauta.

Sometimes the littlest change can make a world of difference.

Start waking a little earlier and spending some quiet time to start your day? The rest of the

day has been transformed.

What little change might change your life? You can pick one or two from the list below at

random I can almost guaranteethat one of them will do worlds of good for anyone.

I compiled this list this morning after asking on Twitter: Whats your best tip that has

made life better/easier? The result was a wonderful influx of brilliant wisdom. Thank you,

my friends.
